[QUOTE=ZeeBabar;268829]I dont get it. First, I had no idea there were other AP's around except a couple of times. At one table, I was already playing when the other guy jumped in and I did not realize he was an AP until he max bet. I left soon after. At another table, I wass playing, a guy standing behind me said "did you know you need a +9 to bet the "bust" side bet" or something like it.. It was only then did I notice him. We played together only once more though I saw him hopping around.[QUOTE]

And therein is the problem. How did you not notice another AP?

[QUOTE=ZeeBabar;268829]I was only going to post a trip report becauase I had never been to CO and saw some stuff I had never seen before.[QUOTE]

I repeat my suggestion. In the interest of peace, everyone knows you've been to CO. If someone wants Intel, have them email you privately. You have apparently pissed off the locals. Not that you care about their game, but it looks like they do.

OMG, you did this to yourself. You were the one who told people you were going. You were (I'm assuming) obvious in your play. Outing you was not cool, but seriously what did you expect to happen?

Holy crap, who cares about if Zee or anyone else is in town playing. End result, if you go to a store and they have a good game, play it. If you draw attention from some bystanders, leave and go somewhere else. Unless you identify a dealer by name that flashes a hole card or deals down to the last 6 or so cards, just play the freaking game. No need to post anything, just play or leave. I travel a lot for work and get to play various places in the US. I can assure you CBJN is not accurate everywhere. I've gone into a store assuming I had a great game only to see it was non existent. I've gone to other stores to 'scout' a bit and found games never reported and was happy to play them (but not burn them out). End of story, play the game if it's good and keep good details and stores to yourself......

Zee I mostly concur with RCJH and others...you need to break this habit of posting trip reports. If you find information about a certain area then just post that you do. Then invite anyone who is interested to PM you about it...don't post everything on this open forum. Casinos do read this, and a tiny town like Blackhawk/Central City will definitely react. Just PM people, and then you can ask them to reciprocate with information back to you with info that they have.

Why should the locals get any more consideration than Zee? I damn know if I travel half way cross country nobody is going to tell me how to play my game. Why should Zee by on the look out for other counters? He was using a polite spread. If the locals didn't like it let them move to another table.

Looks like the locals are jumping in on Zee's game. Yeah, I had this happen to me already and don't like it, but I feel they had every right to do it. After all it works both ways.

There is no reason Zee can't do a trip report and post it here. Zee is not signed up for private messaging on this site and has not provided an email address. After all this is a blackjack site and trip reports are part of the game. On BJ21 years ago trip reports were very common. I did a lot of them. Sometimes I would write two trip reports, one for the blackjack forum, and a more detailed one for a few select folks. What good is a blackjack forum if once in awhile there isn't a piece of good information posted. After all who just wants to hear how much snow is still left in my yard. (Yeah, still some snow left).

None of us care how Zee plays in the casinos. We care if he posts a detailed trip report that ruins local games...get a clue Midwestern Player. Just because you never actually travel anywhere, and are still playing red chips after 30 years?Zee, the fact that Midwestern is agreeing with posting it....that should tell you don't do it.

We know that won't happen. You plan trips and like to live vicariously through pthers' trips, but you don't take trips.

You have no idea how many blackjack trips I have taken. You certainly are no authority on my trips. But I will tell you I have played blackjack in six different states. I have played blackjack in every casino in WI north of highway US-29, and at every casino in the U.P. I have played in 3 different locations in Nevada. I had a full time job all my life so my ability to travel was limited.

Now one thing is true. I don't travel as much as I use to. As you get older your get up and go goes. But don't make up lies and say I don't take trips.

A trip report on Colorado isn't going to ruin anything. The casinos will probably thank Zee for doing it. Nobody is going to get rich with a $100 max bet, especially when they charge $300 a night for a room. The casinos love the tourists, but not so sure about the locals who don't stay over night.

You know when someone says I can't do something, I'm all the more likely to do it. Zee got outed twice on this trip and received an implied threat. No its not Zee's fault. It is the person doing the outing. Zee, post that damn trip report.
